Which description best describes a Things person?

• A. You enjoy working with information, knowledge, ideas, facts, words, symbols and statistics
• B. You enjoy working and being around people
• C. You enjoy handling physical objects of any size, tools, plants, machinery, equipment, vehicles
• D. Aptitude is your potential for learning

Answer: (C)

A Things person is drawn to hands-on, practical work with physical objects. The description that best fits this is the one that says they enjoy handling physical objects of any size, along with tools, plants, machinery, equipment, and vehicles. That focus on manipulating tangible things and working with the material world is exactly what characterizes a Things-oriented preference.

In contrast, the other options describe different orientations: working with information points to a data or knowledge focus; being around people points to a social or interpersonal focus; and aptitude for learning speaks to general potential rather than a specific hands-on preference. So the emphasis on manipulating physical objects makes this description the most accurate for a Things person.
